Keep the Boilers Heated.

A reporter dropped into our larg.
est retail establishment Wednesday.
You have great rush of business,
remarked the reporter.
Yes. replied the proprietor, partly
because it is holiday season, but
mainly on account of advertising.
How can you tell whether adyer-
Using pays
can tell that advertising pays by
stopping it. I've tried it, Trade
drops; the tide of purchasers flows
some other way,
Suppose you should give up adyer-
Using?
l should have a big pile of money,
but should lose bigger pile. You
must keep the boilers heated if you
want steam. If you bank your fires
too long, it takes time to start up.
Advertising is the steam which keeps
business moving. I've studied the
matter.

There is right and wrong way
to shake hands. 1t is horrible when
ones unoffending digits are seized as
if in a wise and wrung and squeezed
until one feels as if they were reduc-
ed to jelly. 1t is not less horrible
to find them lying in a neryless limp
clasp that makes no response to your
hearty greeting. Shake hands as if
you meant it, swiftly, strenuously,
courteously, neither using undue
pressure nor falling wholly supine.

Wise Words.

Speaking without thinking is
shooting without aiming.
If you speak what you will, you
shall hear what you dislike.
Impose not a burden on others
which you cannot bear yourself.
The more important an animal is
to be, the lower is its start. Man.
the noblest of all, is born lowest.
Gayety is to good humor as per-
fume to vegetable fragrance the one
overpowers weak spirits, the other
recreates and reviyes them.
The impartialty of history is not
that of the mirror which merely re-
fleets objects, but of the Judge who
sees, listens and decides.
Conversation is the music of the
mind, an intellectual orchestra,
where all the instruments should
bear a part. but where none should
play together.
The desire of fame betrays an am.
bilious man into acts that lessen his
reputation he is still afraid lest any
of his actions should be thrown away
in private.
A man who hath no virtue in him.
self ever envieth virtue in others for
mems minds will either feed upon
their own good or upon others evil !;
and who wanteth the one will prey
upon the other.
1t is the part of wisdom to enjoy
what we have, rather than to make
life miserable by piningH6rsthings
beyond our reach. The poorest
among us are in possession of luxur-
les denied to kings lew centuries
ago.

invariable and conventional answer.
"That is pity" says the minister,
"because 1 have a good husband for
thee"
"Who is hep" she asks.
The missionary then tells her his
name-although she knows it as
well as he does-and launches out
into the lovers praise. He is strong,
good-looking, kindly he caught two

MANuRING WHEAT.
Three General Ways Of EnrlchInK Impov-
erlshed Farm Soila

Three General Ways Of EnrIchlnK Impov-
erishcd Farm soilL
At present prices only good yields Of
wheat can be made to return profit.
One Of the essentials necessary to Sc
cure this is Il good rich soil. There
must be sufficient supply Of availa-
bic plant food, that strong vigorous
! growth may be secured. Ifthe soil is
not naturally rich it must be made so
by the application Of manure or other
fC:tilizing material. There are three
general ways OF doing this; One Il to
haul out and scatter rs soon rs possi-
ble after the crop is taken oh, and then
turn under in plowing for fall seeding.
Another means Is 10 first plow the land
and then haul ont and apply the ma
nure, working well into the surface Of
the soil rs thoroughly rs possible by
narrowing or cultivating. And the
third is by top drcssing-applying a
good dressing Of manure after the
crop has been sown. This acts to some
extent rs n mulch aud not only adds to
the fertility Of the sIil. but also aids
TO protect the plants from tho effects of
thawing and freezing
IL has not bccn n great while Ego
since this last plan was considered the
very best, ms il was claimed that the
material protects the plants, while the
soluble portions were washed down
into the surface Of the SOL where the
feeding roots Of the plants could Sc
cure il. One item shoul not be- over
looked. As general rule. whenever
you have the time and the supply Of
manure. then is the time to haul II out,
and there are always somc places or
crops upon the farm that will be large
ly benefited by the application.
II you are so situated that the work
can bo done at any time, then of course
ii becomes an item To know as fully MS
possible the best time. OF course
opinions will differ. We want To de-
rive the ,argcst amount of benefit rs
reward for our work. The manure
must be applied in a soluble condition.
and in such position as 10 be most
readily reached by the roots Of the
plants. lhis IS my reason for prefer
ring to apply after the land Is plowed,
depending upon the necessary work Of
preparing in good iillh to work or in
corporate well into the soil. Aud II
reasonably well-rotted manure Is nsed
fine enough TO scatter evenly, and
then given sufficient work 10 embody
into the bail Ms completely ns possible,
we have placed an available supply OF
plant food In position 10 be more
readily reached by the feeding roots Of
the plants, than by either Of the other
two plants. II applied and plowcd
under we place 1t In deep. and II used
rs a top dressing II is too much upon
the surface for the plants to derive the
largest amount Of benefit. Cor. Fdrnl,
